Most of the time, you will create links in your source documents and these will be carried over into your PDF document. If created correctly, the links will be accessible most of the time. When a link is accessible in the PDF, this means that the link provides a connection to the target site that can be operated by the user via assistive technology, such as a screen reader. Inaccessible links are those that appear to be links to a target site but do not link to a web site at all, leaving end users confused when navigating the PDF. If the links that are carried over into your PDF document are not accessible, or if you want to create a new accessible link, you can do that within Acrobat.
Please Note: The following steps describe how to add links to your PDF by use of the Create Link command in Adobe Acrobat. This Create Link command in Adobe Acrobat is the correct and only method for creating links from existing text in a PDF that properly adds the link to the tag structure. Adding links using the "Link Tool" or the "Create From URLs in Document" options in Adobe Acrobat do not correctly add the link information to the tags tree. When adding links in Adobe Acrobat, use the Create Link command only.
Note: Adding links using the "Link Tool" or the "Create From URLs in Document" options in Adobe Acrobat do not correctly add the link information to the tags tree.
